Unity Xbox Ctrlr Input

XboxCtrlrInput for Unity

Feel free to contribute. Requires at least Unity 5.3 (64-bit editor only) or greater. Unfortunately older versions of Unity are no longer supported (it may work or not, but your miliage will vary). 32-bit editor is no longer supported (but 32-bit game builds are still supported).

Decription

XboxCtrlrInput is a wrapper written in C# for Unity3D that handles Xbox 360 controller input. It's used in the same way as Unity's Input class. My reasons for starting this project can be read here.

XboxCtrlrInput.cs itself is not a Unity script and thus does not need to be attached to any GameObject, since it contains no MonoBehavior derived classes in it.

XboxCtrlrInput.cs includes a C# namespace called XboxCtrlrInput. In that namespace there are three enumerations, XboxButton, XboxDPad, and XboxAxis. Most importantly, there is a static class called XCI that is used to get Xbox input.

Goals

The goals of XboxCtrlrInput are:

To be able to make simple calls to Xbox controller input that works on Mac, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu),

And to be able to handle multiple Xbox controllers that works as you expect.

Note for Linux users: All of my Linux testing was done on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. To test 32-bit Unity builds on a 64-bit OS, I ran sudo apt-get install ia32-libs in a terminal. I am using the default Xbox controller driver that came with Ubuntu, which is known as xpad. I could not get Unity builds to cooperate with xboxdrv. Your milage may vary. For best results, make sure all your Xbox controllers are connected before testing anything.
